Dimension to control elevation placement and report in a schedule

[LisaDrago]

Hello - I am working with a client and we need to place a component that we can control the elevation and have it show up in a schedule. I know we can do this (or at least i think we can) but I cannot make it work. Is this possible?

what am i missing?

Really, you're not missing anything. One cannot Tag or Schedule the elevation of vertically-hosted families - that parameter is inaccessible. A search of this forum should yield a couple of work-arounds or alternate possibilities that were mentioned in the recent past.

The most basic solution is to create a Shared Parameter, but then it must be manually controlled.

Thank you for the reply.  I will see what the other posts mention.

The link above tells about 'a way' to get access to the Elevation data via some nifty programming that is free to download.  I particularly like this addin cuz of the cat logo.
